Island Escape by Marks and Spencer



Today I am wearing Island Escape by Marks and Spencer.

It’s surprisingly good.  We smelt it ‘blind’ in the office and it received an immediate and unanimous thumbs up.

Fresh, fruity and juicy and reminiscent of Issey Miyake’s L’Eau D’Issey, the perfume opens with bergamot and pear giving it an aquatic juicy element.  As the perfume starts to settle notes of rose petal and sea salt emerge to transport me to a holiday beach resort.  I can hear laughter and music and feel the anticipation of a cooling cocktail.

With musk to keep lasting longer, the perfume has a slightly sweet finish, but the juiciness from the first droplet still lingers making this an absolutely stunning summer scent.

At only £8.50 / 25ml it’s a complete bargain and I implore you  to set aside any ‘cheap perfume’ prejudices and try this one.
